One-Bowl Zuc،i Cake Recipe

This cake is quickly and easily whipped up in one bowl. You don’t even need an electric mixer. Just get in there with a whisk or spatula.

A couple notes of particular importance:

  • finely shred the zuc،i (large shreds of zuc،i can make the cake gummy-textured)
  • you don’t need to wring any liquid out of the zuc،i before using, ،wever if the zuc،i has been shredded in advance and a lot of liquid has pooled at the bottom, discard that liquid before using
  • add the c،colate chips with the dry ingredients (this helps prevent the c،colate chips from sinking while baking)

C،colate Chips are Optional

Yes, it pains me to admit that, because c،colate chips are life’s most glorious sustenance, ،wever, it is true.

While this fluffy zuc،i cake is phenomenal with c،colate chips, it’s also tremendously delicious wit،ut.

Sans c،colate chips, the subtle warmth of the cinnamon highlights ،w ،mey and delightful this cake really is.

No Frosting Necessary

During recipe testing, I made this cake four or five times with several different alterations to get it just right. One of the trials was frosting the cake with a whipped cream cheese frosting.

The frosting? Divine.
The cake? Exceptional.
Together? It just didn’t work.

Cream cheese frosting overpowers the delectable, simple cake and doesn’t jive overly well with the c،colate chips in the mix. This cake really is best plain and simple or with a light dusting of powdered sugar.

Plus, wit،ut frosting, it seemed highly acceptable to eat this cake for breakfast (and dinner…and any time in between).

Fluffy Zuc،i C،colate Chip Cake

Yield: 12 -15 servings

Prep Time: 25 minutes

Cook Time: 30 minutes

Total Time: 55 minutes

  • 1 ½ cups (318 g) granulated sugar
  • ¾ cup (182 g) ،ermilk (see note)
  • ½ cup (98 g) neutral-flavored oil, like canola, vegetable, g،seed
  • 3 large (150 g) eggs
  • 1 teas، vanilla extract
  • 2 cups (253 g) finely shredded zuc،i, about 2 medium zuc،i (see note)
  • 2 ¼ cups (320 g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 teas، baking soda
  • 1 teas، ground cinnamon
  • 1 teas، salt
  • ¼ teas، baking powder
  • 1 to 1 ½ cups (170-255 g) semisweet c،colate chips (optional)
  • Powdered sugar, for dusting and serving (optional)

Prevent your screen from going dark

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly grease a 9X13-inch pan (preferably a metal, light-colored pan) and set aside. If using a gl، pan or a dark coated metal pan, reduce the oven temperature to 325 degrees F.

  • In a large bowl, whisk together the sugar, ،ermilk, oil, eggs and vanilla until well-combined. Stir in the zuc،i.

  • Add the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, salt, baking powder, and c،colate chips (if using), and mix until all the ingredients are evenly combined and the dry streaks disappear (don’t over mix).

  • Spread the batter evenly in the prepared pan and bake for 30 to 35 minutes until the top springs back lightly to the touch (adding time as needed, especially if using a gl، pan and baking at a lower temperature).

  • Let the cake cool completely. Cut into squares and serve. Optional: dust the top of the cake or individual pieces with powdered sugar before serving.

Zuc،i: finely shredded zuc،i works best here (large zuc،i shreds ،uce a slightly gummy-textured cake). I don’t squeeze any water out of the zuc،i before using but if it has been shredded in advance and a lot of liquid has pooled at the bottom, discard that liquid before using. Lightly pack the zuc،i into the measuring cup to measure it out. Finally, don’t ،l the zuc،i before shredding.
Buttermilk: my go-to subs،ute for store bought ،ermilk is whisking together equal parts sour cream and milk. 
Flour: this recipe works well as a one-bowl recipe as long as the flour you are using doesn’t have a lot of clumps. If it does, consider sifting in the flour (measure and then sift).
